I have recently finished 'Lost in Math'.

And that was one of the points, apparently physicists switching to economists say math is simplistic and superflous.

Math is math, but it can be used as a window dressing for you opinions.

On the other hand if your field pretends to be science. Also creates and awards itself a Nobel prize and pretends its an actual thing. Well maybe its a sign of a con.
